      <h1 class="post-heading">Funding Standoff Forces Flight Cuts, Straining U.S. Supply Chain</h1>

      <div class="post-description">
    Officials say that the U.S. supply chain is already weak because of labor shortages and delayed shipments, and it is now even more strained because of federal job shortages that have led to fewer flights at airports.

      <p class="trend-text sety "  >
  Aviation experts say that many big airports have had to cut back on flights because they don't have enough staff and their overtime budgets are limited.   This is because government agencies are changing how they do things while they wait for more money.    This has made things much harder for a supply system that is still recovering from years of being overloaded.
</p>
        <p class="trend-text sety" >
     The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is putting important operations first and delaying hiring and training new air traffic controllers. This means fewer cargo flights, longer turnaround times, and more scheduling gaps at airports on the East Coast and in the Midwest.   Airlines say that the cuts are already slowing down the flow of cargo for food wholesalers, manufacturers, and medical suppliers, even though they aren't widespread.
    </p>
         <p class="trend-text sety" >
   Industry groups say the delay is because Washington's budget is always in doubt. Congress has had to use a series of short-term spending packages to keep agency funding going.   Federal agencies have to cut back on some aviation activities for a short time because they can't allow overtime, finish contracts, or reopen training pipelines that have been delayed without long-term funding.
  </p>

          “Every hour lost in air operations creates ripple effects across trucking, warehousing, and retail,” said Mark Delaney, a senior logistics analyst at the Transportation Insight Group. “The system has no slack left — any disruption is amplified.”
          </p>
    </div>
  <p class="trend-text sety" >
  Air cargo companies have already started sending supplies through less busy regional airports as a time-consuming and costly workaround.   Companies in fields that depend heavily on air freight, like electronics, medicines, and auto parts, say that delays are now happening at every stage of the supply chain.

     <h2 class="post-heading">Long-Term Budget Fight Still Looms</h2>
     <p class="trend-text sety loco">
        Major retailers and manufacturing groups say that the flight cuts are causing new bottlenecks as holiday shipments rise.   The National Retail Federation says that some businesses are starting to stockpile goods in their warehouses in case of expected delays. This costs more money to store and ship.
       </p>
        <p class="trend-text sety">
          The American Trucking Associations says that long-haul delivery delays are happening because freight is arriving late from airports. This means that trucking companies have to change their routes and pay more overtime.   Smaller trucking companies say they are having trouble covering the extra costs because their profit margins are already very low.
        </p>

        <p class="trend-text sety">
         Supply-chain experts warn that if the interruptions keep happening all winter, the combination of fewer flights, port traffic, and train delays could lead to higher prices for consumers.
        </p>
        <p class="trend-text sety">
          White House officials have asked Congress to pass a long-term financing bill in order to keep staffing levels up, get training schedules back on track, and avoid more problems with the supply chain.
